Captain Comery Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 During the age of sail era many treasure fleets sailed the waters just ripe for plundering. I see no objection to these being added in game with various gold amounts. I also suggest that the more gold they hold the stronger ships are defending it are. If they were added they could be a mini fortress which requires more than one player. This would add more to the player element, a method to get them to team up. Any thoughts?

pepepotamo Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Im agree with that, but no only Spanish treasure fleet, all nations must have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 We definitely need treasure fleets. They should be well protected and hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelSandwich Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It might be a bit far-fetched but im just gonna trow an idea out there. I have no clue how the admiralty will work, but imagine a successfully arriving treasure convoy would boost the funds of your nation. So basicly its a very heavily armed fleet, which would be a prime target for all enemies of that nation. Yet it is a priority to defend for players of that nation as well. So both sides have interests in the convoy, one side for the gold profit, the other side for the national funding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marecek05 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) If I remember correctly, during the later part of the game period 1750-1815 (this is what we have now, the oldest being renomee 1750s), the large gold transporting ships existed only in Pacific in the form of Manila galleon. Due to the increased organization of other powers, especially Britain, it started to be dangerous to send convoys of large ships, therefore the gold was transported in a larger number of naval frigates that could flee effectively (as was also seen in Post Captain by O'Brien). This makes sense to be honest: Fighting pirates and couple of frigates, it is better to have a few large heavily armed ships, however fighting against organized naval force with ships of the line, it would be better to have several smaller frigates. I might be mistaken, so please feel free to correct me. In game I could see it as several squadrons of frigate typed vessels that would leave national ports. If engaged in battle they would not fight, but instead attempted to run, in different directions to each other... Not that much fun, especially challanging, but quite rewarding...

AmericanSailor98 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Indeed it would be a good idea, I like to hunt the "Legendary" Ships in AC4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tief N Tote Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think their could be other so called elite fleets like Blackbeard's fleet which might be smaller ships but you would not solo in brig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharprunner Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I like the i deer of treasure fleets !!! 1 fast naval frigates that can be found on the map or near a port given by admiralty as a mission ! 2 larger ships in convoy that must be brought back to a port after capture 2 way trip !
